What is the NRA ideology?

The NRA is a highly conservative and republican group. The NRA is somewhat libertarian in it's ideology, and is a non-partisan organization that is committed to preserving the Bill of Rights of the U.S.Constitution, with a special emphasis on amendment number two, but is also interested in other civil rights when they intersect with the civil rights to keep arms, and to bear arms. The First and Fourth and Fourteenth amendments frequently come up at the present time while advocating for the Second. It is true that there are more Republican than Democrat candidates supported by the NRA at present, but that is simply due to the fact that the NRA finds more Republicans than Democrats interested in this particular civil rights issue. The NRA is more libertarian than conservative, and also has a policy of supporting friendly incumbents against their challengers regardless of the political party affiliation of either.
